What Wood bure, Saws.

Congressman Woodburn departed
for San Francisco by way OF Lake
Tahoe and Truckee Monday morn
ing. He will remain at the Bay a
few days and then leave for Wash
ington. He will spend some of the
time before Congress meets with
his motherin Baltimore. He thinks
the next session will be a lively
political one, in which the Demo
Gratis and Republicans will work
tooth and nail for the success O
their respective parties at the cleo
ton in 1888, and say that if the
Democratic party cannot be COM
pletely shelved with the record it
has made the Republicans should
give up all hope of ever again get
ting into power.

The Orphans, Home Question.
In another column We publish a
communication from the Board of
Directors of the Orphans Home,
contradicting the report that the In
dustrial Department of the institu-
ton was closed down indefinitely.
The APPEAL, from the source from
which it obtained the statement.
concluded that it was correct, but
now takes pleasure in publishing
this contradiction. No ADLER or
more earnest workers for the inter
ests of the Home than the present
Board can be found, and such false
reports as that referred to, which
are either circulated without full in
yestigation or for improper motives.

MORNING APPEAL.
Neutrality-suspicious. 10, 1857.
The States Fish Interests.

From Fish Commissioner Cary
the APPEAL learns that about $780,
900 trout eggs are being propagated
at the State Hatchery at Sandy
Harbor, near Incline, and will soon
mature and be ready for distribu-
ton. 1t was thought best to cult
vate the eggs there instead of bring
ing them to the hatchery in this
city, for usually large number of
the eggs are destroyed while in
transportation.
Mr.. Cary says the terrapin winch
were planted by him some time ago
in the Carson river and Washoe
lake appear to be thriving well,
and there is every encouragement
that the experiment will prove a
success. In short time Mr.. Cary
intends to place about sixty of the
toothsome shellback in the Hum
boldt river. They will be procured
in Sacramento by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Davis.
1t will be remembered that a
couple of months ago Mr.. Cary or
dered a number of cells from Paw
tucket, Rhode Island, with which
he intended TO experiment. They
were shipped by express, and on
account of the very warm weather
died en- route at Kansas City.
There appears to be no obstacle to
the propagation of cells in the
waters of this State, and we hope
that our Fish Commissioner will
make another attempt to secure
some with which to experiment.

Scarcity of Water.

For some unaccountable reason
the volume of water in the Carson
river and city water works has di-
unfinished very considerably within
the past few days, the city's sup
ply having dropped all at once.
Mr.. Helm desires the APPEAL to
notify consumers to use the water
very sparingly. The sprinkling
cart, which consumes about 10000
gallons of water per day, will now
be able to sprinkle the streets only
once day. Irrigation will only be
permitted on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Mr.. Helm thinks this condition of
affairs will last about two weeks,
when the supply will be increased
from other sources. In the mean
time the strictest economy will have
to be observed by all consumers.
The failure of water in the river
has also been very sudden and
mysterious, causing several of the
mills to shut down, and consequent
ly throwing a number of men out of
employment. Governor Stevenson
says that few days ago he had to
shut down his mill, and within a
few hours after doing so there was
hardly enough water to wash out the
mill.

The APPEAL is in receipt of a
printed copy of the proceedings of
the investigation of the charges
made against DR.. Bishop, of the In
SINE Asylum, by VIM. Thompson.
1t may be interesting reading to
some, but would be decidedly out
OF place in school room or the
family circle.

An INCIDENT IN A Tunnel,

One Of our most eminent stage he
roes was travelling by train in Swift
zerland a few. weeks ago. Opposite
him sat a couple Of handsome young
ladies, who not only stared him out
of countenance. but made him the
topic of their whispered conversation.
Flattered at first by this delicate at
tention, the actor good humoredly
submitted to it. but ia the long run
he began to grow tired of this sort
of thing, and determined to put q
stop to it. When in the tunnel, be-
fore reaching Lausanne, he imprint
ed few audible kisses on the back
of his hand. After the train emerg-
ed from the tunnel, the actor sat
calm and impassiye as If nothing had
happened, while the ladies first star
ed at each other, and then began
series of mutual recriminations on
the enormlty OF their conduct IN TAX
ing such liberties with the hero Of
the footlights. OF course, each blam-
ed the other, and the dispute lasted
until the train stopped at lausanne.
Before leaving the carriage the actor
bowed to the ladies, hat in hand, and
said: Ladies, the great attention
you bestowed on me during the jour
ney makes me naturally anxious to
learn which II you gave me in the
tunnel 50 striking a proof Of your at
lection" He did not wait for re-
ply, but left the ladies to their re-
Elections.

THRIFT AND ECONOMY.

Economy is not parsimony, al
though it is often falsely so called,
and by many considered disreputable.
1t is most commercial virtue, and
should be most sedulously cultivated.
1t is not always gift, and is as Of
ten acquired as inherited. 1t is the
result of care, thought, industry and
unceasing watchfulness, and is. in
deed, one Of our highest duties. 1t
is not only gathering up of frag-
ments, that nothing be lost" but it
is also a seeing that there are few
fragments to be thus taken care of =
the opposite Of wastefulness and ex-
travagance and it is only the mem
tally weak who affect to despise and
ridlcufe so excellent quality.
\ thrifty, economical person can
make one dollar go twice as far as a
needless, unthoughuul person will.
Poverty need not go hand in hand with
careless waste and shiftlessness.
though it usually does. If ever Thrift
and good management are needed it
is where money is scarce. Never
put your best foot forward" at the
expense OF self-respect. 1t may take
a great deal of courage to say, II
cannot afford it." but it is nobler far
than to hi'le behind subterfuges, or
go to understandable expenses to COW
er up undesirable poverty, whose
most CALLING sting is in the tancied
necessity OF keeping up appearan-
ces of sailing under false colors,
and aping the expenditures of more
afiluent neighbors. Many, whose
good sense in other matters is indis-
putable, wear out body and brain in
the insane struggle to keep up style
in household expenses and dress
which is utterly beyond their means.
and which blinds nobody to the true
state OF affairs; or, If it did indeed
blind a few, it is so transparent to
others as to result only disastrously
to themselves.

A RETENTIYE MEMORY.

Some mems memory is so reten-
tive as to be an inconvenience to
them. If they read something bad
or trashy it haunts them for weeks.
Bayard Taylor often complained of
the tenacity with which his memory
held on to the most absurd things.
But, then, Taylor read every thing
that came in his way, and thus de-
graded his memory to the uses of a
pack horse.
Bryant, also had marvellous mem
DRY, but he never abused it. Know
ing that it never forgot anything, he
was fastidious about his reading, and
never browsed among unclean or
worthless books. His memory, there
fore, instead OF annoying, soothed
and exhilarated him. When at sea,
he was always TOO sick to read much.
But such was his familiarity with the
English poets that he would beguile
the time by reciting page after page
from fayorite poems. However long
the voyage, he never exhausted the
resources of his memory. "If allow
ed little time" he once said in his
later years, Il could recall every line
of poetry | have ever written.
Young persons gifted with reten-
tive memory should initiate in their
reading the fastidionsness oil Bryant
rather than the voraciousness of
Taylor. Now and then young man
or young woman. when tempted to
read bad book, says to himself, 80,
III only look it through; it won't
hurt me" But it will. And the
stronger the memory. the greater and
more lasting will be the injury The
evil which bad book does live long
alter its title has been forgotten. 1t
raises bad thoughts and images. which
will not down when we bid them.
Take heed, therefore, how We
hear said the Master to his disci-
pies, who heard much and read little.
In these days Of the making Of many
books, the spirit Of the injunction
bids all take heed what they read"

TURNED TO FLINTY LIMESTONE.

At Tiffin, Ohio, the remains of
Mrs. Rosanna Dennis, wife of Hart
man Dennis, who died Dec. %, 1870,
was taken up at the old city burying
ground, March %, and removed to
Green Lawn Cemetery. When the
body was finally exhumed it was
found in complete state of petrifac-
ton with the exception of the feet
The deceased had been clothed in a
black silk dress, which was still in a
good state of preservation. The cof-
fin, however, was almost entirely de.
cayed.
The deceased was large woman
and the full outlines Of the body had
been preserved. So heavy had it be-
come that it took the united efforts
of ten men to remove it from its rest
ing place. While this was being ac-
complished small piece was una
voidably Clipped off the body, which
is in the possession of Undertaken
Kishler. 1t has all the appearance
of hard, flinty limestone, which in
fact it is. Mrs. Dennis died of drop
sy, and the unnatural accumulation
of water in the system before death
may have been conducive to so re-
markable change.

A FIGHT WITH A WHALE.

Amagansett fishermen had lively
adventure with whale few days
ago. The whale, on being struck
by the harpoon, showed fight, and in
stead of venting his fury by diving
and Laundering he threatened the
boats with his tail, which was ma
jestically swayed III midair and
brought down with crushing force
on the water near the boat. scatter
ing the spray in every direction.
AT every opportunity Capt. Leek,
who was in command Of the boat,
made fast TO the whale, forcing his
lance into the huge fish, but this on
ly added to his fury. Once the whale
narrowly missed the boat, smashing
two oars and forcing the boat over
broadside, and for few moments it
seemed that the hardy fishermen
would be lost Capt. Josh Edwards,
the veteran whaleman of that see
ton, was signaled to, and his gallant
crew bent to their oars as they rush
ed to the rescue of the imperiled
boat. Shortly afterward the whale
lay dead with more than thirty lance
wounds in its carcass. Capt. John
says this whale was the fercest fight
er he ever saw It's 65 feet long,
and it is estimated will yield Is bar
rels of oil and 700 pounds of whale
bone. 1t is the third captured by
Amagansett whalemen within the
past three weeks. The three whales
are estimated to be worth $4,000.

If the Winnie Davis hat is the most
becoming style out this spring for ladies'
and misses, it is not the vanity but the
good common sense of the lady buyers that
gives the shape such widespread popularity

the hat bears has not proven a barrier in
the way Of its sale up north Miss Winnie

daughter of Jefferson Davis. Mrs. f. f.

Social life is thing OF the past.
How seldom do we see men making
friendly or social visit to a neigh
Dor. The women some times visit
to see or inquire how to cut a dress,
or learn the latest styles in hats, but
the idea of soc ality is almost forgot
ton. Is there no way to resurrect,
or to stimulate the little spark of
social friendship, that once made life
pleasant, and communities prosper
porous and happy? Let our people
visit more ! mean IA purely friend
ly visit, just to see neighbor be-
cause we love them, let us gather
around each others freside, talk Of
how pleasant it is for us to live to-

For thirteen years an eagle has
made her nest in cave near Santa
Rosa, Cal, and reared her young.
As soon as they are old enough to
care for themselves she disappears
and is not seen again until the next
year. The young do not follow her,
but stay in the neighborhood until
shot or driven away. In the spring,
when she comes to build her nest, she
flies directly over the cave for sever
al days, flying little lower each day
until at last she reaches the cave.
After this perhaps she is not seen
again for week, when she comes

Joseph Henry, New Haven deaf
mute, about % years of age, began
early in the winter to attend the po-
10 games in New Haven. During
the exciting periods of the games it
was noticed that Henry jumped from
his seat and attempted to shout. For
long time his efforts in this line
were unsuccessful. But recently his
powers OF articulation have steadily
improved and he is now able to speak
considerably Local physicians are
of the opinion that if the young man
keeps up his attendance at the polo
games, and also his happy faculty of
going off into a white heat of excite
ment, he will be able to talk as well
as anybody by the end of the season.
He is still as deaf as ever.
